Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Chapter 323: Large-scale development, state and county system?
I saw a streak of light across the sky in the distance, and a huge dark warship pierced the clouds and appeared in everyone's sight. The flag engraved with the Song clan emblem was flying high, seeming to announce that this land had attracted its new Owner.

"Changsheng." Song Lutong, dressed in black attire, stood at the bow of the ship and waved to Song Changsheng.

"Uncle Tong." Song Changsheng waved his hand with a smile on his face.

The battleship rumbled down, overwhelming a forest, and dust filled the air for a while.

"Ahem, bah, bah, bah, can't you choose a better place to park? I'm so arrogant at labor and management." Song Lutong spat out a mouthful of phlegm from the ground, jumped off the [Black Starship], and gave it directly to Song Changsheng gave him a bear hug.

The palm-leaf fan clapped his hands loudly, and said cheerfully: "Hahaha, what a good boy, you really bring honor to the family. You are the number one person in the Zi family. If I tell you about you, uncle, I feel proud in the face. "

"It's all just luck, Uncle Tong, how many people did you bring this time?" Song Changsheng smiled bitterly and pushed away the "enthusiastic" Song Lutong.

Song Lutong held his head high, pointed at the [Black Starship] behind him and said: "Full fifty elites are here, as well as Chang'an and Changxuan."

"With so many people, can the family run the business?" Song Changsheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the family would have so many people in the first batch. After all, Lingzhou was also in great need of manpower.

"There is no other way. The family is in great need of resources. You have really solved the urgent need this time. If it weren't for my uncle's strong opposition, Uncle Twenty-one would have come here personally to take charge.

We are just the first batch. After Changlian, Changrong and the others break through, the family will increase their investment. At least 100,000 people will be moved here to dig the veins. "

"One hundred thousand people." Song Changsheng nodded secretly. This number is quite appropriate. There are many mineral veins around Five Elements Peak. It is difficult to develop without enough manpower. After all, this land is too vast.

If the Song family had not had such a small population, Song Changsheng estimated that at least hundreds of thousands of people would have moved there.

"This will take at least a few years. Before that, we need to lay a good foundation so that the predecessors can plant trees so that future generations can enjoy the shade." Song Lutong is extremely ambitious and full of energy at this moment.

"I've already checked the surrounding area, and we've basically eliminated all the monsters above level two, so you guys shouldn't have much trouble clearing up the land ahead.

However, you must pay special attention to the Canglan River, which borders the monster territory. Sentries must be set up to monitor it day and night, otherwise the monsters will easily drive in. "Song Changsheng warned in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, your uncle and I will handle things absolutely safely." Song Lutong slapped his chest loudly, then pulled Song Changsheng away and looked at the people behind him and said, "Hey, Fairy Zhuang is here, Changsheng, these two people said Friends, why don’t you introduce me?”

"This is Xu Yunhe, a casual cultivator who once lived and died with me in the Griffin Mountain Range."

"This is Zhu Yiqun, who comes from a hidden sect. He is also a third-level low-grade herbalist. He and I are life-and-death friends. Now I have recruited him as a guest of the family."

"Both of them are brothers that I can trust with my life." Song Changsheng said solemnly.

"I see, your brother is my brother. My name is Song Lutong. I have met you two." Song Lutong immediately raised his hands.

Song Changsheng's face darkened. If you call them brothers, then who am I? This is a generation difference.

"It turns out it's Brother Song. Xiaoshengzi, come and call uncle to listen."

Zhu Yiqun had a mean smile on his face, which made Song Changsheng want to punch this damn fat man to death.

At this time, Song Lutong finally realized what was happening. He looked at Song Changsheng and said with a smile, "Let's discuss our own affairs."

"Clan leader." At this time, Song Chang'an and Song Changxuan had already walked over with the family monks who had finished lining up, and saluted respectfully.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone, please rest first. I will tell you the situation here in detail later." Song Changsheng nodded with a smile.

Zhu Yiqun took out the flesh and blood that he had taken from the [Five Elements Spirit Beast] before, and baked a lot of barbecue to entertain everyone.

After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Song Changsheng took out the newly drawn map during this period and gave a detailed explanation of the surrounding situation.

Then Song Lutong, Song Changxuan, and Song Changan divided their forces into three groups to explore minerals and resources within a three thousand mile radius with Five Elements Peak as the center.

Song Changsheng, on the other hand, tried to use the materials brought by Song Lutong and others to lay out a third-level low-grade space array.

This is a huge challenge for Song Changsheng. Although he has experience in setting up space teleportation arrays, the second-level teleportation array deployed in Luoxia City is a top-notch second-level teleportation array.

This is fundamentally different from the third-level low-grade space teleportation array, but after such a long period of preparation, Song Changsheng has full confidence.

Two months later, the third-level low-grade teleportation array was successfully formed and successfully connected to the main teleportation array at Cangmang Peak, making Five Elements Peak no longer an isolated enclave.

And Song Changsheng also took advantage of this to step into the third level of low-level formation master in one fell swoop, becoming one of the few formation masters in the Daqi cultivation world!

In the newly built garrison at Five Elements Peak, Song Xianming, Song Changsheng and other senior family officials gathered together.

Xia Yunxue stood up with a pamphlet in her hands and reported to everyone: "After two months of exploration, the map around the Five Elements Peak has been drawn, and the main resources are now summarized as follows.

There are two large third-level mineral veins in the surrounding area, one is meteorite mineral vein, and the other is Qingming steel mineral vein. Their purity is extremely high. With sufficient manpower, 3,000 kilograms and 6,000 kilograms can be extracted respectively every year. The family can still have a large surplus while meeting their needs.

A medium-sized third-level mineral vein is the Qingtian Jade vein, which is an excellent material for formation. It is currently scarce in the family. According to records from previous years, the family will consume thousands of spiritual stones just to purchase [Qingtian Jade].

With this mineral vein, it is enough to meet the family's needs and save a large amount of spiritual stone expenses every year.

There is a small third-level mineral vein, which is a glazed sand vein. The family does not need [glazed sand] at the moment, but the Huansha Sect purchases it at high prices all year round.

Based on the current proven reserves, the annual output can reach more than one hundred kilograms, which will bring at least tens of thousands of spiritual stones to the family.

In addition, the Five Elements Peak itself also has a third-level [Five Spiritual Stone] vein. Although the output is not high, it can bring in profits of thousands of spirit stones every year.

These are all the third-level mineral veins. "

After the words fell, the faces of everyone present showed uncontrollable joy. These alone are enough to bring tens of thousands of spiritual stones to the family every year!

"Damn, that's great. Changsheng, this salary should be raised after all, right?" Song Lutong shouted with a loud voice.

Song Changsheng also smiled with a smile on his face, nodded and said: "This is natural, the Presbyterian Council will come up with a charter later."

"Be quiet, I haven't finished reading yet." Xia Yunxue glared at the two of them and said angrily.

Song Lutong and Song Changsheng immediately shut up and looked at Xia Yunxue expectantly. "In addition to the mineral veins, there are more spiritual veins here. There is only one third-order spiritual vein, which is the Five Elements Peak at our feet, but there are sixteen second-order spiritual veins below it!"

Everyone was in an uproar when these words came out, and Song Xianyun stood up even more excitedly.

Don't underestimate these sixteen spiritual veins. These are all untapped and theoretically enough to support sixteen small foundation-building families.

There are so many second-order spiritual veins, let alone first-order spiritual veins.

"In addition, we also discovered two large spirit gathering places, one medium spirit gathering place, and seven small spirit gathering places." Xia Yunxue once again threw a bombshell, which shocked everyone. Eight elements.

A land of spiritual gathering refers to a place where spiritual power gathers due to special reasons, and the resulting spiritual power is rich and suitable for the growth of spiritual plants.

If these spirit-gathering places that Xia Yunxue mentioned could be developed, the Song family would be able to make a lot of money even just by growing spiritual rice, let alone growing elixirs and other items.

However, the manpower required is also very large, and it is difficult to fully develop it with the current size of the Song family.

But it is foreseeable that these lands will bring a lot of wealth to the Song family.

"In addition, there are twelve spiritual springs and eighteen third-level spiritual plants..."

It took Xia Yunxue almost half an hour to read from beginning to end, which stunned everyone present.

People used to say that Shiwandashan was a treasure land, but I didn’t expect it to be so rich.

"We've almost caught up with most of Lingzhou. We all lived such a miserable life before." Song Lutong smacked his lips and said.

"You don't want to think about how many years it has been developed. When Lingzhou was first developed, it was also a rich land. It was only due to destructive mining that it finally became what it is now."

Song Luzhou glanced at Song Lutong, then stood up and said, "This is a virgin land. We must take a long-term view and develop it in a planned way."

"Uncle Wu is right. You, the Foreign Affairs Elder, and the Baiyi Elder are jointly responsible for this matter." Song Changsheng nodded in agreement. Continuous development is the way to go. Fishing to the fullest is a sign of irresponsibility to future generations. As a member of the family, Policymakers, they must take a longer view.

"I understand the truth. The planning should be planned, but the development should be developed, right? Changsheng, my patriarch, you must quickly arrange the manpower for me.

Without people, no matter how much resources we have, we can only watch. "Song Lutong shouted anxiously.

As the guardian appointed by the family council of elders, Song Lutong is the leader of this land. Since he chose to come here, he naturally hopes to achieve results.

"Uncle Tong, don't worry, I have mobilized 100,000 young people from Guihua, Mingyuan, Tianshu and other nine cities. I will set off soon, and grandpa will escort me personally.

In addition, I decided to recruit young people from the family's affiliated forces. I will use spiritual rice, spiritual plants and other resources as rewards, and even the spiritual veins of this place. It is expected that I can recruit 200,000 to 300,000 young people. "Song Changsheng said with a smile.

"Clan leader, I'm afraid this is against the rules, isn't it?" Song Xianyun frowned slightly. Wouldn't this be human trafficking? This is a big taboo in the world of Daqi cultivation.

"You misunderstood." Song Changsheng naturally knew what he was worried about, and immediately explained: "This is paid employment, these people still belong to their original power, they are just hired to work for us, and we are paid.

Moreover, they can choose to stay or leave at will, and we will not interfere. If casualties are caused, we will compensate them. "

This is actually the most basic employment mechanism. I pay, you contribute, work-related injuries are compensated, and things are good for you and me.

Hearing this, Song Xianyun felt relieved, but then said worriedly: "So that's the case, but will they agree? Population is also a precious resource."

Song Changsheng smiled slightly and said: "Young and strong people are indeed precious, but firstly, we are just hiring, not buying out. Secondly, we can exchange scarce cultivation resources with mortal labor. This kind of good thing can only be found with a lantern. If you don't, do you think they will refuse?"

"How is that possible? Those people, let alone hiring them, will come together even if they are sold for cultivation resources." Song Lutong immediately stood up and agreed.

Song Changsheng immediately gave him an approving look. Population is precious to the Song family, but to other forces, mortals are just reproductive tools and cannot create any wealth other than that.

Now that Song Changsheng is willing to exchange his cultivation resources, it is a great thing that they can only ask for. Not to mention refusing, they are afraid that Song Changsheng will ask for too little.

Of course, Song Changsheng was not a big grievance, and the price was very low. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a black slave price, but the small forces below were still flocking to him and wanted to squeeze everyone in.

As for how many of these people are voluntary, that is not something Song Changsheng needs to consider. Anyway, I advocate freedom of coming and going. Whether the forces behind you agree or not is none of his business.

"You are still thinking fast. In this way, manpower will not be a problem. There is one last problem. This land now belongs to us. It's time to give it a name, right?" Xia Yunxue said happily.

Song Changsheng nodded when he heard this and said: "What mother said is that the territory controlled by the family now is not small, and it will definitely become wider and wider in the future. It is time to make some plans.

I decided to divide the counties below the state to facilitate future management. "

"County?" Everyone was a little confused.

There is a very strange phenomenon in the world of cultivation. Although there are countless "countries" divided into "countries", and "countries" are divided into "states", there is no subdivision below the "states".

This may be because the boundaries of the realm of cultivation change frequently, or perhaps because the predecessors felt that there was no need to divide it into such fine details, so it has continued like this.

But in Song Changsheng's opinion, this is a bit too simple and crude. After all, the land of one state is still very huge.

So he decided to go one level further down.

The territory under his feet is just the beginning. In the future, he will also redistribute Lingzhou. The ideal situation is for a foundation-building force to occupy a "county" territory, which can be called "hao".

Just like the Zifu forces occupying a state can be called "Wang".

Everyone felt a little strange about this theory, and Song Xianyun couldn't help but ask: "Then how should we name this place?"

Song Changsheng smiled slightly: "Let's call him Zhang Ye."
